When we'd reach for it
Pre-wedding and engagement shoots in soft daylight: fields, lakesides, old streets in the morning.
When we wouldn't
Documentary coverage of the day itself, where the softness starts to hide expressions.
The recipe
These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.
Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
